How Closing Fraud Works
Attackers often break into one email account in a transaction, such as an agent’s, a buyer’s or a title company’s, and quietly follow the conversation. Shortly before closing, they send new wiring instructions that look completely legitimate. Buyers can lose their down payment, and offices can lose trust and face claims.
Simple Rules That Stop It
- Tell every client at the start that wiring instructions will never change by email
- Confirm any wire details by phone, using a number from the original file
- Use encrypted email or a secure portal for sensitive documents
- Require MFA for every agent, including independent contractors using company email
The Technical Side
- Anti-impersonation policies for brokers, agents and transaction coordinators
- Look-alike domain detection for your domain and partner title companies
- DMARC at enforcement so your domain cannot be spoofed
- Conditional access with risky sign-in alerts
- Suspicious inbox rule alerts, a common sign of a hijacked mailbox
- App protection policies for agents’ personal phones

Email Protection in Delray Beach: Common Questions
Why are real estate offices targeted?
Closings involve large wire transfers arranged by email, which criminals try to redirect.
How do you stop fake wire instructions?
Impersonation detection, MFA, outside-sender warnings and phone verification of any change.
Can agents use their phones safely?
Yes, with managed apps and MFA.
Do independent agents need to follow office security rules?
If they use your company email and systems, yes. Requiring MFA and secure devices for every agent protects your clients and your brokerage.
What should a buyer do if they receive suspicious wiring instructions?
Stop, do not send funds and call the agent or title company at a number they already know. If funds were sent, contact the bank immediately.
Can you protect agents who use Gmail or personal email?
We recommend agents use company email for transactions so protections apply. We can set up and secure company accounts for every agent.
